The Moroccan people who live in the Atlas Mountains have a tradition of creating beautiful masterpieces that goes back centuries. They are masters of color and design. The women of the tribe pass the tradition from generation to generation through song and poetry. Each piece is a work of art that is unique and beautiful.

The women of the tribe also use the rugs to keep the stories and traditions of their people alive. Each symbol in the rug has a special meaning. Diamonds can signify women. Two or more diamonds together can mean and husband, wife, and their children. A diamond within a diamond is a symbol meant to protect the family from misfortune and ill will. Every separation or break in the pattern is intentional and has meaning. Every time the pattern changes significantly, it signifies a major change in the story.
